WORD, our popular series of spoken word and readings, returns! We welcome you to explore the program’s third iteration Spring Cleaning. Featured writers include Rev. Houston R. Cypress, Rachel DeLoache Williams, and Adriana Devers. Writers may opt to share a previous work that never left the pages of their journal or write a new work to cleanse themselves of a lingering idea that they’ve been eager to explore. Our writers have been asked to reflect, declutter, and invite ideas, stories, and inspirations that may have been tucked away to resurface, releasing them into the universe as we enter a new season.
An open mic will follow the segment of curated writers. Audience members are encouraged to sign up for the open mic portion and read their own works or pieces from a beloved writer or friend. Please note that only 3 spots for the open mic will be available. If you want to share your work make sure to arrive early and leave your name on the sign up list at check-in. Open mic participation is limited to 3 minutes when read, no exceptions!
At The Church, one of our core missions is to honor Sag Harbor as a Maker Village; the WORD series is meant to honor Sag Harbor as a welcoming home for artists, writers, and creatives while celebrating the power and range of the written and spoken word. The reading will offer café table seats (limited tables available that seat 2-4 guests), regular seating, and light refreshments.
